Accessing our information

We're serious about access to and protection of information. We want you to be able to access the information you need and be confident that your information is in safe hands. We regularly publish a range of information that you can access to review our activities and expenditure.

Public sector spend information

Ensuring best value for money and the strongest return on investment is a top priority. We fully disclose all our spend over £25,000 and provide an annual breakdown of our expenditure on marketing and PR, overseas travel, hospitality and entertainment and external consultancy.

This Act provides a right of access to information held by public bodies and requires Scottish public authorities to produce and maintain a publication scheme. Authorities are under a legal obligation to:

Allows you to see what information is available (and what is not available) in relation to each class

States what charges may be applied

Explains how to find the information easily

Provides contact details for enquiries and to get help with accessing the information

Explains how to request information that has not been published

State Aid

Most of the assistance given to businesses by Scottish Enterprise is covered by European State Aid rules and as such we are required to publish our own State Aid schemes. These provide the basis for assistance offered by Scottish Enterprise through a range of products and services.

Assistance is discretionary, based on the merits of the proposed project, and an assessment of need which is subject to rigorous due diligence appraisal.

Senior salary information

Equality and diversity information

We're committed to equal opportunities as an employer and in the services we provide. Every two years we publish a report that sets out our commitment to equal opportunities and charts the progress and steps we're taking to address the needs of under-represented groups.

Environmental and biodiversity information

Our planet is our single most valuable resource. That's why we're committed to playing our part in Scotland's journey to a low carbon economy. Every three years we publish a report to share the range of actions we've taken to further the conservation of biodiversity.

Annual reports and accounts

Delivering on budget and with maximum influence is important to us - as is demonstrating value for money. We publish our report and accounts alongside a range of case study examples of our work each year to showcase our performance.

Procurement forward plan

Terms and conditions

We have standard terms and conditions for contracts with our suppliers. They are defined in the documents you can download from this page. Our terms and conditions have recently been reviewed and we now share risk in a more equal manner with our suppliers.

Information classification and handling

Owned investment property assets

The Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 introduces a right for community bodies to make requests to Scottish Enterprise for any land or buildings they feel they could make better use of.

Community bodies can request ownership, lease or other rights, as they wish. The Act requires us to assess requests transparently against a specified list of criteria, and to agree the request unless there are reasonable grounds for refusal.
